[Rhodes22-list] Deliverance, Launching, and Elton the Magnificent.

[Michael D. Weisner]

Hank,

New van?  Not hardly.  Elton blew the tranny in the blue conversion van on a 
delivery last month on LI.  Even with a blown seal, he was able to limp into 
the repair shop after refilling the tranny with 4 qts of fluid.  Who needs a 
tow truck?  Fixed good as new in about a week, just in time to haul the next 
R22.

Look for a blue conversion van in a neighborhood near you ... someone may be 
taking delivery of their new toy.
